HAND-MIRROR.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J1me 17, fl9ikg;

Application filed August 17, 1910. Serial No. 577,552.

To all tulvom it. may concern Be it known that I, JAC UES BUSTANOBY,

a citizen of the United. States, andresident toilet articles being so arranged that they will at no time interfere with the use of the mirror as such.

To carry out the purposes of my inven tion, I form the back of the mirror with a chamber adapted to contain the powder and the puff and my invention further consists in certain features and combinations that will be fully described hereinafter and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had tothe accompanyin drawings, in which igure 1 is a central vertical section through one form of my improved mirror taken on line 11 of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a rear view thereof; Fig. 3 is a rear view of another form of my invention with parts in section, and Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 1- 1 of Fig.3.

As illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 the mirror proper A has a curved backin which a central chamber A is formed the walls A of said chamber flaring. forwardly, so that-with the mirror held upright, the bottom wall of the chamber is inclined downward from the opening at the rear end of the chamber toward the closed end of the chamber, adjacent to the mirror. Thus the cosmetic powder B'contained in the chamberAA will tend to slide away from the opening and will notbe so liable to drop out when the chamber is open at the rear. A convenient way of constructing the back is to make it of-a plate A adjacent to the mirror proper, a conical wall A to form the central chamber A a bottom wall A for said chamber, and an ornamental shell A. The parts A A A A may be soldered together or otherwise connected; At the opening of the chamber A a cylindrical portion A is formed, or. this portion might flare slightly rearward, being adapted for tight frictional engagement with an annular portion H on the pufil'l whichin itsmain features may be of ordinary construction having a central. handle H which projects rearwardly when the parts are put together asin Fig. 1.

The mirror is provided with a handle C 'of. appropriate shape. This handle may be recessed lengthwise as at C to(form a chamber for. the reception of a stick of rouge D provided with a socket or holder D made of sheet-metal or other suitable material, which holder is fitted tightly against the walls of the chamber- C so that the stick itself will be held clear of engagement with said walls.-

The handle D of the holder projects outwardly and downwardly from the handle C of the mirror.

In the construction illustrated by Figs. 3 utilized as a coverand 4, the pufi H is not for the powder chamber A, but a separate cover E is provided preferably hinged at one side as at E and combined with a spring F having a tendency either to close the cover E, or to open it, in which latter case a suitable catch G is sup lied to hold the cover closed when desire Upon pressing the catch, the cover E will fly open, so that the puff II will be readily accessible.

It will be seen that a lady can hold the mirror (by the handle C) with thedeft hand and at the'same time use the right hand to manipulate'the pufi H to take powder from the chamber A and apply it in the usual way; the mirror'will remain undisturbed all this time. The same thing is true with respect to the stick of rouge D; this too, can be handled while the mirror is held in its position of use. Fig. 3 shows the handle C provided with two chambers C and C located side by side, one of them containing the stick of rouge D and the other a black or colored pencil D- having a holder D and handle D and serving to mark eyebrows, etc.

The improved mirror herein described combines two (three-or four) articles in a.

convenient form, avoidsthe necessity of car: rying these articles separately, and thus reduces their aggregate bulk, which is a great convenience partlcularly when traveling.

Each of the accessory articles, while practically concealed by the mirror when not used, is readily accessible for use, without at any time interfering with the employment of the mirror as such. 4

' Various modifications may be made without departing from the nature'of my invention as defined in the appended claims.

vthe back andrthe narrow open end of the Y cone being at the rear so as to form a rear- Wardly-contl'acted receptacle open at vthe rear, the back also comprising a wall which forms a bottom for said receptacle; and

means for closing the open end of said receptacle. v

a 2. As a new articleiof manufacture, a frame having a back and a handle extending from said back at one side and substantially in'the same plane with the back, the said back being provided with a rearwardly open receptacle, that wall of said receptacle which is nearest the handle, being inclined forwardly and toward the handle, so as to prevent the contents of said receptacle from dropping out when the frame is held up right, and means for closing the open rear end of said receptacle.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
